Wales: My first visit was to the Gower peninsular with the school. Since then I visited many times; particularly to walk in the Snowdonia National Park.

Scotland: The Royal Navy officer asked why did I want to goto Scotland? Because I had never been there was my reply. Thus 1 month was spent at Rosyth Naval Base with Edinburgh on our door step. Since then I have visited many times; mainly to bag Munros. See 2025 Scotland Cycle Tour.

Northern Ireland: As a member of the Liverpool University Potholing Club I spent 1 week exploring the caves of County Fermanagh.
